The HTC One S features Android 4.0
  • But HTC still insists on caking in its HTC Sense 4 interface to accompany it
  • So you don’t quite get the full Android 4.0 experience. But that said
  • The interface is still lush
  • Featuring beautiful menu layouts. But there’s still little we dislike about the HTC One S.
  • Body highly sensitive to scratching (to be verified...)
  • Low memory for a multimedia smartphone (about 12 GB)
  • Low pixel density for 2012
  • No microSD card slot
  • Display could be better
  • Storage limited with no expansion options
  • Lack of sharpness on display
  • Limited memory
  • No SD slot
  • MicroSIM is a pain for some
  • Keyboard has seen better days
  • Call quality can be slightly tinny
  • Could do with a tad more storage
  • No option to increase memory
  • Sonically it's bettered elsewhere
  • Maximum 16GB internal memory
  • Second fiddle to the One X
  • No memory expansion
  • No removable battery

  • Abstract:  gadgets I’ve been fiddling around with the HTC One S for a few days now, and I have to say it’s stolen a little piece of my heart. The hardware is just about perfect, with a 4.3-inch qHD display and a slender aluminum unibody shell, and software like H...

  • Abstract:  HTC’s new One Series got off to a good start, and now the company has to do the same in the US. We’ve already reviewed the One S comprehensively in European form, back when the smartphone first wenton sale. T-Mobile USA‘s version brings much the same t...

  • Beautiful, ultra-slim design. Vibrant screen. Runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) out of the box. Feels fast and responsive. HTC Sense 4.0 is redesigned, with especially slick camera software. Clear voice quality.
  • PenTile display makes for slightly fuzzy text. No voice dialing over Bluetooth
  • The HTC One S looks good, feels good, and runs Android 4.0 out of the box. It's our favorite new powerhouse smartphone on T-Mobile....

  • Remembering all of the recent fond memories we’ve made with the European version of the HTC One S, T-Mobile’s version also delights us in many ways. Finally, T-Mobile customers will have an updated HTC offering that’s delivers that great balance of pe...

  • The One S is easily the best smartphone available on T-Mobile today - nothing else comes even close. I also think it's currently the best Android smartphone in the US (at least until the One X comes to AT&T, and the EVO 4G LTE to Sprint after that). No...

  • Abstract:  HTC's not making it easy for us. The Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer is doing its best to convince us that the HTC One S, despite being the "middle" phone in the HTC One line — between the One X and the One V — in fact is the best phone in the bunch....
